I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Let me go, let me go! You lunatic!"

The Four Symbols Ancestral Shaman roared at the top of his lungs, already in extreme panic. He tried his best to unleash all the attack methods he knew, trying to break free from Li Chen's hands that were holding him tightly like iron pliers.

Instantly, a fierce wind roared up, forming a massive tornado. This tornado was like countless razor-sharp blades, madly slicing at Li Chen's body. Simultaneously, a poisonous rain fell from the sky, the raindrops seemingly corrosive, desperately trying to corrode Li Chen's hands. And the dazzling lightning bolts, like sharp swords, pierced Li Chen directly.

However, in the face of such a fierce attack, Li Chen did not flinch. His hands were still tightly grasping the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch, showing no sign of relaxation. At this moment, an unprecedented sense of fear surged in the heart of the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch.

He knew that Li Chen was determined to die, even attempting a sage-level self-destruction. Furthermore, to the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch's despair, Li Chen had already cast a solid barrier around him. This meant that if Li Chen succeeded in self-destructing, the terrifying power would not leak out at all, but would be completely unleashed upon his body.

At this moment, the colorful divine fire on Li Chen's body burned more and more fiercely. The fire spread rapidly, covering the whole body of the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch at an astonishing speed.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

The Four Symbols Ancestral Shaman let out a heart-wrenching howl that echoed through the heavens. But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't stop the blazing divine fire from advancing. Finally, with a deafening roar, the raging divine fire completely exploded.

Along with this loud bang, the bodies of Li Chen and the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch were instantly blown to pieces, turning into countless fragments that flew everywhere. The entire space was shaken by this powerful explosive energy and trembled violently.

Fortunately, Li Chen had set up a barrier in advance, otherwise, all the people within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers would be completely wiped out with Li Chen's self-destruction. With the cultivation level of a saint and the power of the spirits of the nine great ancestor witches, this power could destroy several large countries in one breath.

And in the distant other side, although the Hibiscus Fairy and others who had long left this place were unable to witness the shocking power caused by the explosion with their own eyes, they could still clearly perceive Li Chen's current situation thanks to their deep telepathy.

"Owner!"

Fairy Hibiscus and the Thousand-Year-Old Bat Demon cried out anxiously, their voices revealing endless worry and concern.

"Li Chen!"

The eyes of Fairy Jade Rabbit, Xiao Yan, Ao Xue, and Ao Shuang were red, and their gentle voices trembled slightly, as if they would burst into tears at any time.

"Master brother!"

The Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion and the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox bit their lips tightly, their beautiful eyes staring into the distance, silently praying in their hearts that Li Chen would be safe and sound.

"Master!" Li Zhaohuang frowned slightly, put her hands together in front of her chest, and prayed devoutly for Li Chen.

At the same time, Nezha also felt a wave of unease welling up in his heart. He frowned, tightly grasping the flaming spear in his hand, and secretly made up his mind to avenge Li Chen and completely eliminate the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

The women and Nezha all crossed their jade-white hands in front of their chests and clasped them together, praying wholeheartedly to God for Li Chen's safe return.

At this moment, the Heavenly Court also keenly sensed the precarious situation of Li Chen and his group—they had unexpectedly come under fierce attack from the Four Elephant Ancestral Witches! Acting decisively, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li led the awe-inspiring Four Heavenly Kings and the valiant Jinzha and Muzha, piloting a series of immense celestial warships, and rushed towards the site of the attack at lightning speed.

And right in the center of the spot where Li Chen and the Four Symbols Ancestral Witch had self-destructed, the once formidable and feared Four Symbols Ancestral Witch had been reduced to ashes by Li Chen's earth-shattering self-detonation. The once flat, solid ground was now shattered, as if it had suffered an apocalyptic catastrophe. Atop this rubble lay piles of shockingly scarlet flesh, scattered haphazardly and emitting a chilling, bloody odor.

However, what was even more eye-catching was the presence of a heart quietly suspended in mid-air, gleaming with a strange light. The light emanating from this heart was like the brightest star in the night sky, dazzling yet tinged with a hint of mystery. Upon closer inspection, one could see that this heart belonged to Li Chen, who had just survived the catastrophe of self-destruction!

Li Chen's heart seemed to possess life, constantly gleaming with a strange light. Simultaneously, the scattered scraps of flesh on the ground seemed to sense the heart's call and began to respond to the heart's radiance. Then, at an unimaginable speed, the scraps gathered together, clinging to each other and merging.

As time passed, this object, composed of shredded flesh, gradually took on the outline of a human figure. Finally, at an astonishing speed, it completely solidified into Li Chen's original form. And just like that, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Li Chen once again stood intact on this devastated land.

“Cough cough cough cough cough…”

A violent cough erupted from the billowing smoke from the explosion. It was Li Chen gasping for air, his throat trembling violently as if burned by fire, and every breath was accompanied by piercing pain. At the same time, bright red blood could be seen spurting out of his mouth from time to time, the vibrant color forming a stark contrast with the surrounding tragedy.

It was obvious that this self-detonation was a physical catastrophe for Li Chen! If it weren't for his extraordinary talent and perseverance, which had led him to the arduous practice of reaching the revered realm of a saint, this earth-shattering self-detonation would have completely destroyed his soul, plunging him into an abyss of no return and fading from the world forever.

At this moment, a mechanical voice, devoid of any emotion, rang out: "Congratulations, host, for successfully completing your mission—killing the Four Ancestral Witches! As a reward, thirty extremely precious Resurrection Pills, thirty powerful Level 4 Strengthening Stones, and the intact spirits of the Four Ancestral Witches of Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning have been automatically deposited into your backpack. Please check them."

Upon hearing this news, Li Chen's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. Even so, after this thrilling battle, he was exhausted, even standing up was difficult. His limbs seemed to lose their support, drooping limply, and his entire body fell uncontrollably to the ground.

Not far from Li Chen, a mysteriously shimmering spirit of the Ancestral Witch hovered quietly in the air. The light it emanated was like a brilliant beam, reaching into the sky and drawing everyone's attention. The light was sometimes gentle as water, sometimes sharp as a sword, its unpredictable changes leaving everyone in awe.

At the same time, in a corner not far away, three graceful figures quietly emerged. Their eyes were always fixed on Li Chen, revealing concern and tension.

Each of these three women possessed a unique charm. One was as lively and lovely as a young girl; another was as charming and alluring as a delicate flower; and yet another was mature and steady, with a faint aura of saintliness. At this moment, they silently watched Li Chen lying on the ground, secretly pondering their next move...
